[oss-devel] [PATCH] .deb creation support (w/o alien), other minor fixes

[Ionic]

Hi Hannu,

it's me again, sorry for disturbing you so much. :)

As dev pointed out, there is no proper deb creation script yet for OSS. 
I changed the old one to not create the .deb file with alien, but 
"proper" (creating various tar archives and after this packaging them 
into an ar archive).

It's status is still "WORKSFORME" and it lacks user testing, but at 
least it's building fine on my Gentoo machine. I tried to stick to POSIX 
compatibly though, so I do not expect many problems... but anyone 
interesting in using "make deb" is supposed to do it now and post bug 
reports. :)

I have not included scripts for postrm, prerm, postinst(allation) yet, 
but I'll write them in the next few days (if not tomorrow.)

Btw, I also included the other changes to the Linux24 and FreeBSD script 
again which will not let the copying of man pages fail. I just used hg 
diff using the newest hg revision, I hope that's OK. :)


I hope this helps.

Have a nice evening,


-Ionic
